    The music might be a bit pretentious but hell, that’s what makes it awesome. Why would you work hard to master an instrument and not use your absolute full ability while playing and writing?

  2. Caught their show last minute one night and sat right up front. these guys really put their souls in it.

  3. What I love about this type of music is that you don’t know what will happen next, very unpredictable and exciting, atonal clusters ftw.

  4. @Boredonthejob You should get a medal for that comment.

  5. I like how this had to be broken down into an Us v. Them argument. I played piano for a very short time – wouldn’t call myself a musician – and I still love this stuff. You don’t have to study music to enjoy this. As for the “too much noodling” comment, does Country have too much twang? Does Blues sound too sparse? I just don’t understand a comment like “theres too much Noodling in this Jazz song.” Its jazz for god’s sake. Btw, what jazz do you listen to? Bebop? This song is incredible.

  6. you cant just change tempo and instrumentation and then call it jazz…..

    wow, thanks for the insight Flaming Ballsack.

  8. @harlequin71 Real musicians write music they want to hear. Meaning, real musicians write music for musicians. If you do study notes or study sound or study composition it is very musical and very beautiful (not my fave bad plus song but still very impressive). if you don’t like it, don’t listen. This is for the 5%, not the 95%, and speaking for the 5%, we can’t get enough!

  9. a bit over-indulgent, like much modern jazz – theory all you want, no one who doesn’t study notes for a living is going to care, this is not musical, it is noodling.

  10. i’m 14 and… God this gives me the creeps, positively speaking

  11. @fabfreebird1 Agreed!!!!!

  12. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH US!!!!!

  13. MY GOD!!!! PURE DOPE!!!!

  14. I never thought music could be this good, honestly.

  15. this is what you get when you mess with

  17. @gargoyle666

  18. 7 people have Hitler haircuts.

  19. @MrPotatobot LOL true. I actually first heard Panic’s cover live from a fan filming. I overheard a bunch of tween girls singing Karma Police. I no longer fear hell for I saw that video.

    I gotta say, while the interesting lyrics and haunting vocals make the original a complete classic, the force and suspense which these guys put into the outtro is for me quite an improvement to that particular element.

  24. @muziekert

    They didn’t rape this at all… If you want to hear what raping this song sounds like, listen to the Panic! At The Disco version.

  25. @oflynnmusic check out to Avishai Cohen trio! Dhafer Youssef !! Robert Glasper Trio…cant recall more… =)
